Market price is not really stable because the consumers is the one who dictates the price of the specific coin. Do not expect that the price of it will be stable because the demand of the consumer is different from each other. It is all about supply and demand where in if the supply is higher than the demand its price will for surely gonna go down.

Most people are reactionary in nature, especially most in this forum. Therefore, if the market for a long time does not meet the needs of the majority, they begin to emotionally respond to events.
No matter what happens now, a recession or rising market prices, such people will respond in accordance with where the trend is going.

Prices are falling - everything is bad, prices are rising - finally crypto spring has come. And so in a circle. I have been watching this for many years.

If you perfectly understand that your hopes are not destined to come true why then you voice them. As you have already correctly noted, the project needs funds to pay for your work.

Reading the fact that the fundraising can go just awful, as a result of which the project will not even enter the market,
what is the point for developers to allocate funds from their own pocket to pay for an advertising campaign that may not to bear fruit?
523  Economy / Economics / Re: Countries with banks to buy and sell cryptocurrencies on: February 07, 2020, 05:43:39 PM
To be honest, I do not quite understand what is the illegality of buying cryptocurrency on ordinary exchanges.
It seems that the banks simply decided to stick their intermediary services here.

However, this is an unambiguous plus, because due to the fact that the banks themselves will offer the purchase of bitcoin through their services, ordinary people can safely invest in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
In particular, in this way, banks increase the credibility of cryptocurrencies on the part of the general population.

I will not be surprised if in the future there will be deposits allowing you to buy bitcoin at a percentage or take on credit.
How this will be realized is of course a big question, but banks will certainly not lose their profits.

Realistically, I don't think it matters how often somebody gambles.

Few people gamble so frequently that they don't have the time to take care of the important things in life, e.g. their job, health and family.

What is more important is how much, as a fraction of the total income that people gamble. Above a certain fraction, this can be considered a problem.

Keep it low guys and enjoy the process!

interesting point of view.
above which fraction would you consider it a problem?
5%?
3%?
maybe even more than 1%?

would it be ok for a person in a given time to gamble with more than 50% or their monthly income?
what if they already have financial freedoom and enough cashflow to pay for all their expenses for the next 15 years?

too many questions
too little time to answer it.

You are right too many questions. I think that the main criterion during gambling should be your subjective feeling of whether you harm yourself or others by the amount of time you spend playing.
This also applies to the amount of money that you take with you for games. If you can afford to gamble for a whole day or a week at the same time,
it does not worsen your psychological and financial condition, even if you lose a lot, and also does not ruin your personal relations with your family and people close to you, then why not.

It is important to understand why you are gambling, maybe the reason that opens before you will show that there are other ways to get the same emotions, and maybe this is what you need right now.
526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's in the game, after all? on: February 06, 2020, 03:20:16 PM
of course there are deviations on this behavior but I don't see how people would approach gamble on a "personal growth" way.
more like a "test of luck" or "destiny's checking"

Well, I agree that these people may not think about it this way exactly

However, this is how it may play out in the end (pun intended as well). I mean people lose big time and that teaches them a lesson, the hard way, that is. So they end up "personally grown" in a sense (not all but many). A few years ago I lost like 1.5 BTC in one losing streak at PD, and I guess that taught me something. The point is, if we can use such an experience in other areas of our lives (transfer it), it may be worth the buck (lost) after all

That's right. Our brain is designed in such a way that only our own mistakes help us to learn and develop. The main question is how each individual relates to their own mistakes.
The best thing you can do is try to correct the mistake and learn a valuable lesson from it, because all our mistakes teach us something.
In fact, any situation in life teaches us something, and Gamblin is that area of activity in which any mistake can lead to a big loss, and the temptation to make a mistake in Gambling is full.
527  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Whoa, Ethereum breaks the $200 barrier on: February 06, 2020, 03:18:24 PM
The news is certainly pleasant, only there is no merit of Ethereum. Judging by the charts, all coins rose in price after Bitcoin.
Therefore, the fact that Ethereum overcame the psychological mark of $ 200 by and large does not mean anything and does not affect anything.
If Bitcoin falls in price, Ethereum will seamlessly roll back for just at a slightly ticked mark.
528  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: After Facebook, Telegram, KakaoTalk- LINE is coming in crypto! on: February 05, 2020, 01:06:19 PM
Do they do it to get profit? We all know that all crypto prices are going up. This has an impact on all token sales. Many projects sell tokens just to make a profit. They only take the opportunity at this time.
This is the shitcoin. Just see when the price of bitcoin fell like 2018. Many altcoins are unable to survive.

Nowadays, all such moves are made for profit. It is not yet fully understood how exactly this goal will be realized by the project, and how they are going to provide liquidity.
After all, coins already exist within the framework of the social network itself, and the largest number is probably directly in the hands of developers.

That is, just to release a dummy on the market without anything, they are unlikely to be able, one way or another, they will have to conduct something like a fundraiser.
Although if it is really a large social network, it should have investors and significant reserves of finances, which can allow for a similar adventure with the release of shit coins on the market.

Another speculation.
529  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ETH] I was scammed on Youtube. What to do? on: February 05, 2020, 01:05:19 PM
Surprisingly, 10 years ago there was a similar scheme in which scammers asked to deposit a certain amount of money into a wallet, and in return sent a random amount of money that should always have been more than the down payment. People sent money, first to check a little, in return they received a threefold sum. After believing that the scheme worked, people sent huge amounts, of course, nothing came back. Time goes by and the methods do not change.
530  Economy / Economics / Re: How can we get people to use bitcoin as a currency? on: February 05, 2020, 01:02:14 PM
We must introduce to them the positive side of bitcoin. If they will only understand that the bitcoin will help our community to grow, they will for surely gonna accept it. Bitcoin will help our community to have faster transaction that will lead to our faster movement of the community. It will for surely gonna rise up since we have a faster transaction caused by bitcoin.

For this, it is necessary that people begin to perceive bitcoin as a currency that has much more convenient functions than regular money or digital varieties of fiat funds.
However, given the specifics of Bitcoin, only one thing becomes obvious, for most people, Bitcoin looks like a speculative investment, thanks to which you can earn.
Or as an asset with which all shadow transactions, including the purchase of drugs, go through.
531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling on real gaming equipment: Testing technology on: February 05, 2020, 01:01:32 PM
As I understand it, your idea is similar to an online casino when using web cameras. The idea itself is interesting, but in my opinion it is now quite outdated.
Now you need to move towards virtual reality technologies and create a casino using augmented reality or a fully functional virtual reality casino with the widest possible action functionality.

You are right, we use webcams, but the method of transmitting a signal to a gambler is different from what others used. That is why we need to test technology from different countries. In addition, you need to check the method of remote control of gaming equipment.

P.S. Thanks everyone for the feedback! In the coming days, we will translate the site into English and open registration for the whole world. Thank you for the advice!

Well i can see some appeal to this, but i'm wondering: If you have 100 players wanting to play slots, does it mean you have to have 100 slot machines with 100 web cams for each? What if 1000 want to play concurrently? I see a scalability issue here, and i don't think your players would like doing virtual queues.

Of course some games like roulette can be shared among many players but you have other type of games where you will run into this problem (and i bet maintenance of the machines will be the same as a physical casino).



You are absolutely right, that is why there is no point in such mechanisms, because you can install 1000 virtual slot machines for 1000 players in virtual reality.
Moreover, the development of technologies in the future will allow you to create virtual reality almost identical to our reality.

The only question will be how honest the random number generator will be in such casinos.
532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Much Money You Need To Win To Stop gambling, Is This Possible. on: February 05, 2020, 01:00:41 PM
Complex issue. It all depends on what kind of earnings I have at the time of the Gamblin session and how much money I invest in the current session itself.
As a rule, it’s enough for me to increase my initial deposit by a factor of five in order to start to fear being faced with failure.
The fact is that after a big win, further loss can do more harm than good, because the money won is already felt as your own, which means that you will want to win it back, which can lead to even more losses.
If you start gambling and you will play again and again because you consistently win then you will strive for more wins and you continously play, that is the start of addiction. If you experience investing and losing you will be angry and then it will serve as a motivation for you to try again and strive for success and winning again.

Given the fact that the percentage of your victories is extremely conditionally dependent on your abilities, the desire to recoup will affect the development of your dependence much more strongly
than the desire to play and continue to play during a wave of luck. Indeed, if you are lucky today, there is nothing better than getting the most out of luck.
533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto gambling websites need to add self-control functionality! on: February 04, 2020, 11:11:22 PM
snip

I believe that creating such functionality for gambling sites is not profitable, because the main income of casino sites is from those people who can not get rid of addiction,
continue to play again and again without brakes. Therefore, your own control in this matter will depend only on you, like everything in this life.

Sometimes looking for ways to maximize profit just isn't the best thing to do. If I was a casino owner and there was a way I could stop someone from basically losing more than they can afford to, I would do it even if it draws the profit lower with it.

However, I'm not sure how these limits would help greedy people. If one wants to go over their limit, they will even with the best limiting function that could exist. If one limits their total profit or loss and thinks of going over them, they will increase them. If someone wants to go for another gambling session after deleting their account, they'll just make another one.

Greed cannot be encountered this easy. I've pushed myself over the limits and know what it means to do whatever it takes in order to get where you want.

This is the problem. Even after the control mechanism is triggered, if a person wants to, he can create a new account or return to the game in some other way.
Thus, we return to the fact that creating such a mechanism is rather difficult. At a minimum, a third party is needed that will be able to completely block access to all Gambling resources on the device.

However, whether this will be an excessive measure, because something will have more authority on our device than ourselves.
In any case, I think if a person has problems with how much money he can lose, then he himself needs to realize this , and take control.

It makes no sense to rely on others; only you can solve your problems.

Recently, my workload at work almost does not allow me to engage in gambling. Well, if you manage to devote this to at least a couple of hours a week.
Last time I played poker a week ago, unfortunately with a rather mediocre result. Alas, I missed a lot of good games last week in connection with my busy position.
I would like to build my schedule in such a way that I have time for gamble at least twice a week.
537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know if a gambling site is scam or not? on: February 04, 2020, 04:25:56 PM
I don't really know now, it doesn't mean that they are paying for a while, they are legit, maybe if it exists for a long time? Recently I found a gambling site I knew last year that is working well they even have a Signature thread here on bitcointalk and they are paying but now suddenly they stop the service and many users are saying they can't withdraw their funds I don't know if they are turned scam or what I am waiting for accusation thread if someone does.

Any site can turn into scam, even one that has worked for many years and consistently paid a profit to its users.
Nevertheless, long-term existence will be one of the most important and significant criteria in determining whether a site is a scam or not.

Another important factor will be how much the site’s domain has been paid, because as a rule scammers try to save on their costs and buy domains with a very limited validity period.
Of course, reviews are also one of the components that will help to understand what is happening with the platform, what problems exist, how things are going.
The less the number of negative reviews, the higher the likelihood that the site will still work for a while.
538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto gambling websites need to add self-control functionality! on: February 04, 2020, 04:24:00 PM
I understand your idea. This is already practiced in offline casinos in some countries, where you can ask your person to be blacklisted in the casino if you think that this will help you cope with the control of gambling addiction. Thus, many people blacklist themselves in all casinos in the city after which they are simply not allowed to go there for a certain or indefinite amount of time.

I believe that creating such functionality for gambling sites is not profitable, because the main income of casino sites is from those people who can not get rid of addiction,
continue to play again and again without brakes. Therefore, your own control in this matter will depend only on you, like everything in this life.

Some of the games listed in this article rely on such things as the domestic gaming market. The problem is that such games are almost completely captured by multi-accounts, farms and bots.
Thus, the gameplay turns into a routine in which it is necessary to introduce an unequal struggle in the market against the aforementioned adversaries. Neither earn nor enjoy this game is almost impossible.
540  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: p2pb2b exchange top 1? on: February 02, 2020, 02:29:46 PM
A terrible useless exchange, endlessly continuing to increase volumes with the help of bots and also having a rather dubious reputation, and white spots in matters of liquidity.
It amazes me that so far this exchange has not been excluded from the list of top exchanges in the ranking.

In addition, the fact that the exchange has liquidity problems (after all, the withdrawal transactions taking place on it are manual) makes me horrified every time I see it in the top list of the CMC.
 I do not recommend anyone to use this exchange, and in any case do not accept, share in IEOs on their platform.
